Fox is still overpowered

I’m actually getting more sleep when I think about some game mechanic that I absolutely hate, for example, CAS spam. When I think about having to deal with such BS then I just don’t bother launch the game and went to bed instead lol

Nice Job trying to push me as anti Russia when I have no problem with Russia. But believe what you want. Please find a direct quote saying I hate russia, I’ll wait.

There’s nothing “Anti-Russian” about pointing out disparity between vehicles. BMP-2M is a lower BR then vehicles with worse capabilities then it. BMP-2M could go up or those vehicles go down, weird to assume thats anti-russia. Given that there are significantly more TOW missile carrying vehicles then Russian ATGM carrying vehicles, its natural when ATGMs flight performance is gutted, theres naturally going to be more TOW carrying vehicles affected. I don’t remember seeing kornet missiles dropping 10ft when fired where as every variant of TOWs are effected.

Only the cannon is similar, completely different vehicle classes. IFV/APC vs RCV.

Velocity fall off at range says otherwise. try again.

I also proved that its unstable . Anyone can post a video and say they “proved something”. Try again.

Trying to shoehorn in the speed argument as an afterthought I see.

Unless Gaijin and their secret ground resistance stats for XM800 are higher then the Fox’s. Engine power and power to weight says the XM should be faster (Acceleration Rise), even if barely. And when you pull up the stat card for these vehicles, please enlighten me to when you managed to get the Fox or the XM800 to their top speed, I’ll wait. Even more so when you factor in what terrain/map your on. Having to cross snow,river,mud and sand will hamper any wheeled vehicle. So just by virtue of what map you get will innately effect the mobility of Fox/BTR and XM.

Edit: Transmission Gearing is also impactful on actual speed and acceleration but my knowledge in that department is zero so perphaps the Fox’s gearing is better or vice versa.

I usually just play something else and or repress the memory and forget it happened. It usually only comes down to having my shots volumentric’d or unexpected spalling not killing what it should.

The Fox is also a lot more prone to flipping, rolling, bouncing, and spinning out. Plus if you so much as think about caressing the side of a map object it dumps it’s momentum. It takes more skill to drive the Fox at it’s top speed.

I have troubles with spinning out, trying to take a turn at excessive speeds just sends me flying. If I as much stray from a straight line, i’m gone.

Sometimes I’ll be rushing across a seemingly open field and hit some kind of imperceptible bump that breaks a wheel. Oh and one time my driver died when I hit a dead tank.

Can’t say I’ve had my driver die but I’ve lost wheel once or twice.

Oddly enough, the Fox runs better with missing wheels than broken wheels. A broken wheel drags.

Oh and for spinning out sometimes the best recovery method is to embrace going in reverse.

More so because the Swingfire is a IRL meme of a system because the UK just cant be normal when it comes to missile technology. Gaijin had it have a lot of its IRL meme power for a long time. People got genuinely upset at it too until you got footage/image showing the missile doing exactly what it was doing ingame IRL.

Though FR FR the FV438 swingfire is 100% gutted, it doesnt even give you the ability to SWING your swingfire like you should be able to (you can do it still on the striker though…). Currently you have to aim forward, then quickly move your mouse to targets on your flank to move the missile that way, even though your damn aiming sight is literally looking left or right, you cant fire it like you should be able to.

XM800T going to 8.0, Fox staying at 7.7 with unspecified APDS recalculation.

TOTAL FOX VICTORY

I wouldn’t say victory yet till br changes are implemented. They are subject to change before implementation.

Well they do need to change a few things anyway. For one anything they’re doing to the Fox’s APDS round needs to be done to the Warrior too.

Do we know what they’re doing to the APDS shells though?

I wonder if this APDS recalculation is going to alleviate the penetration fall off or if Gaijin is pulling out secret documents and just hard nerfing penetration.

I asked for a practical terms explanation in the BR changes thread, no reply yet.

One can hope it’s this, but I’m more concerned they are going to lower pen for no good reason and the fact that the Warrior isn’t listed for the same changes is why.

The Warrior uses the same gun with the same rounds. So not including it is either pure oversight or something fucky.

This is either very good, or very very bad.

Leaning towards the bad unless they clarify. Probably an ahistoric nerf to keep morons happy. Same shit keeps happening to Gripen. Wouldn’t be surprised if it happens to another thing that yanks and ruskis cry over.

Yeah. Not holding my breath. Play France and Britain, pretty used to the devs fucking over things with absolutely 0 reason other than it upset the yanks and ruskis. Got to keep the cattle content.

Is RARDEN on the Lanz formula?
